In a moment that will be talked about for weeks, Patrick Mahomes delivered a stunning behind-the-back pass to Travis Kelce during the Kansas City Chiefs’ latest game. The pass, which showcased Mahomes’ trademark creativity and audacity, came with a surprising backstory.
Mahomes’ remarkable play was reportedly fueled by a bit of frustration. According to Mahomes, the decision to execute the behind-the-back pass was driven by a mix of competitive spirit and a desire to prove a point. After a series of miscommunications and minor errors during the game, Mahomes decided to add a flair of his own to shake off any lingering frustrations.
“It was out of spite,” Mahomes admitted post-game. “I felt like we needed a spark, and I wanted to show that we could still make plays, even when things weren’t going perfectly.”
